Answers
Answer:
Adenohypophysis:-
A major organ of the endocrine system, the anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis).
The adenohypophysis secretes nine other hormones:- *growth hormone (GH) promotes growth.
*corticotropin (ACTH) causes the adrenal cortex to secrete corticosteroid hormones;
* follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
and
*luteinizing hormone (LH) interact to regulate the function of the gonads;
*prolactin (PRL) causes milk synthesis in the mammary glands;
*thyrotropic hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroxine.
*lipotropin (LPH) affects fat metabolism.
*melanophore-stimulating hormone (MSH) stimulates melanin synthesis in pigment cells;
*opioids (endorphins and enkephalins) reduce pain.
